First Published: 14th November, 2023 12:21 IST
The groups have been declared unlawful associations to curb their "secessionist, subversive, terrorist and violent activities".
The Ministry of Home Affairs on Monday extended the ban on seven Meitei extremist organisations, as “unlawful associations” under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act for another five years.
According to a notification issued by the Home Ministry, the groups have been banned for allegedly “engaging in activities prejudicial to the sovereignty and integrity of India”.
The groups have been declared unlawful associations to curb their “secessionist, subversive, terrorist and violent activities”.
The Centre declared the Meitei extremist organisations, namely – the Peoples’ Liberation Army (PLA) and its political wing, the Revolutionary Peoples’ Front, the United National Liberation Front or UNLF and its armed wing, the Manipur Peoples’ Army or MPA, the Peoples’ Revolutionary Party of Kang-leipak or PREPAK and its armed wing, the ‘Red Army’, the Kang-leipak Communist Party and its armed wing, also called the ‘Red Army’, the Kanglei Yaol Kanba Lup (KYKL), the Coordination Committee (CorCom) and the Alliance for Socialist Unity Kang-leipak (ASUK) along with all their factions, wings and front organisations, as unlawful associations.
Making the announcement, the government also pointed out that these organisations have, as their professed aim, “establishment of an independent nation by secession of Manipur from India through armed struggle and to incite indigenous people of Manipur for such secession”.
Furthermore, MHA asserted that the central government is of the opinion that if there is no immediate curb and control of the Meitei extremist organisations, they will take the opportunity to mobilise their cadres to escalate their secessionist, subversive, terrorist and violent activities.
